Man o man, there were some pleasant positives in that ugly Eagles game.
Hundley, Montgomery, Janis and Backman and Walker on offense.
Well any pleasantry on defense eludes me right now but perhaps someone can provide some.

Barrington was a helluva lot better than Hawk and Jones ever came close to being. etc. etc.

I can't help thinking, the main reason things went so bad was that Capers wasn't tipping his hand in a meaningless game. Add some scheming to what at least came close to being decent by most of the DBs and LBs, and I think we can come a lot closer to shutting down the Eagles - as well as a lot of lesser teams.

Prett much with everyone else on this one. Rodgers and Lacy are always good to see, and also some legit depth at QB. The surprise to me is I haven't heard much mention of Myles White - he had some nice catches.

I'm not reading into the defense much, as the schemes looked pretty plain against the Eagles. We will have a better idea after a couple of regular season games. Jury is still out.

I'm positive that we will all see a better Packers performance against the Saints. More focus will be placed on the Starting Lineups and getting the team ready for the opener with the Bears.
The Defense can only be better this week and Special Teams can only get better than we've already seen.
Last, I expect to see a marked improvement in the passing game as the running game continues to execute .

Winning in preseason does not matter, but building a Team does. I expect to see very good things this week from Team Packers !

Go Pack Go !!!

Backman would be interesting on those screens too.

Btw I think Vaughters made a case for himself.

The sky is not falling and the wolf is not at the door either. Lacy catching screens and breaking into an opponents secondary is a positive picture, but seeing strong, solid O-line and D-line play is my best positive picture. They are the core of the core and the foundation of any winning TEAM.

He got pushed around like a 340 pound rag doll in the past, so what does he do? He gets lighter hahahaha. What I see is he still displays a lack of strength and really ain't any faster.

Crunch time for him will come when Guion's suspension ends. I think one or the other of them will be gone.

Fan Shout

packerfanoutwest (1h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (1h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (1h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (2h) : Who? What?

beast (11h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (15h) : meh

Zero2Cool (20h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (20h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (20h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (23h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (23h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
